Elaine and David Gries and Marcia and Wink Langston are proud to announce that their daughter Susan Gries and son Mark Langston were married on 13 September 2008, at Camp Westwind in Oregon. David Gries was the officiant, meaning that he performed the wedding, under the authority invested him by the Universal Life Church Monastery.

A lot of the pictures shown below were taken during the wedding by Christian Gries and some by Elliott Schofield —thank you Christian and Elliott! You can read the ceremony in this pdf file.

1. Portland before the wedding. These pictures, taken at Susan and Mark's house before the wedding, are mainly for family members to look at.
2. Camp Westwind. The wedding was held at this camp, on the Pacific Ocean, from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. 100-150 people attended, some sleeping in tents on the beach.
3. Barging in. To get to the camp one had to take a barge across a river that flowed into the Pacific Ocean. These pictures show people being barged across, unloading their gear, and walking up to the camp, to be greeted by Susan and Mark.
4. Campfire. Friday night, we sat around a campfire on the beach.
5. Story telling. Rick Huddle enthralled people with his story telling on Saturday morning.
